Ever since you moved to the DFW, the Dallas Morning News has an article about which restaurants you have been to and the impact is is having! Thank you so much for choosing somewhere close to home, I may not be able to go to Asia right now, but Mike is my food navigator in Texas!!

For NY style the best is Ferraris in Plano. Numero 28 in Allen is pretty authentic too!

Sorry I didn't get back to some of you I had a slight complication but better now because of the Amazing doctors and nurses doing there job saved my life because of them I'm here to right a thank you note. Much Love and Appreciation to everyone who sent me get well soon including Mikey Chen. Once I'm able to I'll be taking a trip to visit my sister in Seattle and hit up and eat up some of the places Mikey has eaten at. And visit family in the mid west of United States and eat at some of the places that Mikey has visited. And hopefully sooner than later I am going to go back Korea and visit family members and to save money on hotel rooms lol I'll be eating same places that Mikey has hopefully. And hopefully stay a week in Japan where my cousin is a teacher and enjoy the foods that hopefully eating same places that Mikey has eaten at well that depends on if my cousin can get time off from work. Once again to Mikey Chen Crew Thank You For Your Very Kind Words Of Encouragements On Getting Better. I definitely will be trying my best this Virus takes a toll on your lungs and on your joints. Some days it takes a toll on my breathing and other days I'm struggling to take breath but I am getting stronger and one day I'll try taking a trip to Mikey Chen's restaurant in New York and in Texas. Once again thank you to everyone who has sent me get well soon that is my inspiration and encouragement to getting better thank you everyone including Mikey it's much appreciated!!! 💙🙏👏😷🙏💚

I spent a good portion of my 20s eating at the original Herrera's Cafe on Maple. I know that they have had to move several times since family took me out of Dallas but I have such fond memories of dragging non natives to stand in line in the parking lot. Between the dripping window unit A/C by the front door and the mariachi bands on the juke box, I knew my guests would be won over when the food arrived. Enjoy my home town! I just wish that all the best restaurants, bakeries and ice-cream places of my youth were still around for you to discover.

That beef ramen and pho.... made me drool... seriously drool....
